ASEAN Journal of Community Engagement

The term alternative media refers to media that serves as alternative sources of information in lieu of mainstream media. In contrast to social media, alternative media are mass media entities that carry out journalistic functions even though they are affiliated with community organizations. Thus, alternative media are expected to provide authentic news just like mainstream media in Muslim countries. Islamic alternative media are also required to produce quality news, and this was especially seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, when a flood of information resulted in confusion among the community. In response, training that aimed to enhance journalistic professionalism for practitioners …

An Overview Of The Significance And Application Of Constructability In Value Engineering, Samereh Jadidoleslami, Mojtaba Azizi Dec 2022

An Overview Of The Significance And Application Of Constructability In Value Engineering, Samereh Jadidoleslami, Mojtaba Azizi

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development

Value Engineering (VE) and constructability are not distinct; instead, they are complementary work processes that may be used as vital elements in achieving total quality. Constructability is a value management (VM) tool developed as an attempt to integrate design and construction activities. VE is often implemented when there is a limited chance to influence the cost and time of the project effectively. Thus, project contractors and owners conduct VE analysis before construction by applying the constructability process. The activities of these two processes somehow complement each other in achieving their goals. Considering the output of existing VE approaches, it seems …

“Pasmado, Kailangan Bang Mangamba?”: Pagdalumat Sa Salitang Pasma Bilang Isang Konseptong Pilipino, Ian Mark Nibalvos

Malay Journal

Ang salitang pasma ay matagal nang nasa kamalayan ng mga Pilipino ngunit hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay hindi pa rin naipaliliwanag ang kahiwagaang taglay nito. Ito ay walang siyentipikong basehan kaya patuloy pa ring itinuturing bilang isang “folk illness.” Ang saliksik wikang ito ay naglalayong magbigay-kontribusyon sa intelektuwalisasyon ng wikang Filipino sa pamamagitan ng pagtalakay ng konseptong pangkalusugan upang lubos na maunawaan ito ng mga Pilipino. Isang rebyu ng literatura at pag-uugnay-ugnay ng mga ito ang ginawa ng mga mananaliksik upang matugunan ang pagbabatayan sa pagbuo ng konsepto ng pasma. Nabuo ng mga mananaliksik ang sariling depinisyon ng salitang pasma: Ang …

Recent Trends In Mineral Processing Based On Density And Particle Size–A Review, Ahmed Sobhy Dec 2022

Recent Trends In Mineral Processing Based On Density And Particle Size–A Review, Ahmed Sobhy

Mining Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Most mineral beneficiation development in the world focus on size and density-based separation technologies. In recent years, ore size-based and density-based separation technologies have attracted more consideration to obtaining rough or final high-quality products. Due to the dissimilarity of physical properties like particle size and density, valuable and gangue minerals can be segregated via size-based and density-based separation technologies. Removing the impurities and recovering the target minerals are accomplished by size-based separation technologies alone or are usually followed by cleaning processes utilizing density-based separation abilities. The density variation among valuable and gangue minerals leads to dissimilarities in settling velocity in …

Agenda Control In The Indian Parliament And The Impact On Its Oversight Function – Analysis And Evidence, Maansi Verma Dec 2022

Agenda Control In The Indian Parliament And The Impact On Its Oversight Function – Analysis And Evidence, Maansi Verma

Socio-Legal Review

Separation of powers is understood as the diffusion of powers among different branches of the government, with each branch acting as a check on the other. This principle is considered an anti-thesis to totalitarianism, preventing the absolute concentration of power and thus protecting liberty. The Cabinet-style parliamentary form of government, with its genesis in Britain, fused together the executive with the legislature. This resulted in powerful executives and weakened legislatures with limited oversight capabilities. As institutions evolved over time, internal rules and procedures also evolved both as constraints and enablers of executive dominance, by distributing the powers of agenda control. …

‘Private Acts’ And Structural Inequality: Law And Housing Discrimination, Rowena Robinson Dec 2022

‘Private Acts’ And Structural Inequality: Law And Housing Discrimination, Rowena Robinson

Socio-Legal Review

This paper focuses on law and housing discrimination within the context of a sociological understanding of the cumulative disadvantageous effects of what are legally considered ‘private acts’. It therefore brings a distinct perspective to the examination of vertical versus horizontal rights. The paper particularly focuses on housing discrimination against Muslims in urban areas against the background of marginalisation, conflict, and violence. It seeks to think about housing segregation as both producing discrimination, targeted violence, economic inequality, and social exclusion as well as itself being a product of these factors. Public policy in the form of equal opportunities legislation has been …

Women, Gender Politics, And Resistance In Kashmir, Seema Kazi Dec 2022

Women, Gender Politics, And Resistance In Kashmir, Seema Kazi

Socio-Legal Review

This article focuses on Kashmiri women and the gender politics underpinning the August 5, 2019 revocation of Article 370 in Kashmir. Reclaiming Kashmiri women’s property rights was among the justifications cited by the state for revoking Kashmir’s autonomy. Paradoxically, however, most analyses centered on its political implications. Kashmiri women’s opinions regarding the revocation, the state’s use of the women’s rights argument to justify the same, or Kashmiri women’s rights and experiences in the wake of the revocation were seldom the subjects of discussion or analysis. Beginning with a brief overview of Kashmiri women’s role in the Kashmiri struggle, I juxtapose …

Audit Committee And Internal Control Effectiveness In Public Sector Entities, Cosmas R. Masanja

Business Management Review

This paper reports the findings of a study that examined the audit committee and internal control effectiveness nexus.

Effects Of Interest Rate Ceiling On Sustainability Of Microfinance Institutions: Lessons From Tanzania, Goodluck Charles Dec 2022

Effects Of Interest Rate Ceiling On Sustainability Of Microfinance Institutions: Lessons From Tanzania, Goodluck Charles

Business Management Review

This study explores the effects of an interest rate ceiling on the sustainability of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs). Based on qualitative research which entailed collection of online data from 53 respondents and in-depth face-to-face interviews with 10 MFI practitioners in Tanzania, it is evident that an interest rate ceiling interferes with competitive market forces. Given that MFIs vary in size, operational capacity, customer segment and business model, applying a single blanket interest rate leads to capital and credit diversion, hidden non-interest charges, the emergence of informal lenders and a black market, the withholding of credit from risky markets and the closure …
